Well, we survived the first day of Como football! It was QUITE an experience! Unfortunately, both their teams lost, but in their defense, it was the only team that beat them last year and these boys were much BIGGER than the Como boys! Anyway, Luke got the first game jitters out (although they put him at a position he was totally unfamiliar with when he did go in - that's intimidating)! Josiah played almost the whole time and was so tired he was having a little trouble breathing by the end. Elliott got to make his debut as quarterback and did a wonderful job. He did get hurt (wind knocked out of him; leg smashed), but walked it off and was back in by the end of the game! Charlotte and I were just praying to Jesus the whole time and trying to be tough mamas, but I'll tell you, it's kind of hard to see your babies getting banged around on the football field! I guess we'll get used to it?? There is an interesting "pressure" playing in this league because we do stand out a bit - you know what I mean?
We're going to have to figure out how the rest of our family functions in this whole thing - 4 1/2 hours sitting out in the blazing sun with preschoolers was a bit of a challenge. They survived, but I don't think they'll be doing that EVERY Saturday for the next 2 months (although I'm sure the weather will get cooler, which will help). Isaac and Moriah declared at the end of the VERY long day that they were never going to another football game again. So much for my attempts at encouraging them to support their brothers?! We were blessed to have Uncle Ben and Aunt Trisha there to hang out with us! Cousins made it all seem more bearable. And then we got some special hangout time with them that night before they headed to the lake.

Luke is #8
Hard to tell, but this is Josiah.
